[Icom] East coast warranty repairs

[Steve Jones]

Hmmm, I'll bet the dealer in Texas was....oh well let's don't mention
that...hi hi. But I'll bet it had something to do with towers. Who did you
buy the rig from and did Burghardt know that. Keep in mind that if they are
authorized warranty the do get paid for their work although it is not a
windfall return. But none the less, they don't do it for free. Still good to
know though as I think all these guys should have east coast service centers
like Kenwood does. Good deal. Steve, NX1G
